For the second time in a month, men who say they are with a mobilized Russian unit deployed to Ukraine have complained about their treatment and commanders.
The men are from regiment 1439, which comes from Irkutsk in Siberia. A group from the same regiment issued a similar protest in January. It's unclear whether the new video includes men involved in the previous complaint.
In the latest video, published Saturday, the group claimed they had been given “unlawful and criminal orders” from their command and sent to battle without “any support.”
“We are the mobilized from Irkutsk oblast (region), regiment 1439, who were sent to the (self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic) from the city of Novosibirsk on December 31, 2022,” said a hooded soldier reading a message and surrounded by other soldiers.
“We ask for help in dealing with the unlawful and criminal orders of our command … the soldiers of the territorial defense were made into assault units in a single day and were sent to assault the Avdiivka stronghold — without any support from artillery, communications, sappers, reconnaissance — to be slaughtered.” Avdiivka is a hotly contested city close to the front lines in Donetsk.
“DPR commanders are firing machine guns and infantry fighting vehicles at our mobilized soldiers because (they) refuse to join the assault units. There is no point in appealing to the local military prosecutor's office since they are in full collusion with the commanders … At this point, this battalion has been almost completely destroyed,” the hooded soldier continued.
As the video nears its end, the soldier says the unit is in a “desperate position” because the DPR “commanders do not care” about their lives.

While I totally believe Putin is a bad guy this report is from the NY slimes, ergo nothing in it can be accepted as fact. Basically given to choice between a Putin statement and a NY slimes statement, odds are better that Putin’s lie is less egregious.
Wait... What?
The DPR is firing at the Russians?
Since they both claim to be Russian now, that’s tantamount to an admission that the vatniks are now in a state of civil war.

LOL, thank God the Russians are here, after months of indiscriminate Russian shelling resulting in the complete devastation of Bakhmut. Russian idiot propaganda.
Images reveal scale of devastation in Ukraine’s Bakhmut over recent months
Can you also post some blurry photos of UFO's?
All is well.

Right, which is why Putin had to invade?
Trump never hugged a foreign leader?
Neocon, Putin was forced to invade to save the lives of Russian speakers in the Dunbass.
The Russian speakers in the Donbas are fighting against the Russian invaders. Putin conscripts others who get abused in training and then greatly enlarge Donbas cemeteries. Those vast cemeteries are Putin’s legacy for the Donbas: It seems the locals hate their Mohammedan occupiers and the incompetent Russian pigs and apes.
Sure, just like Hitler had to invade Czechoslovakia to "save the lives" of Germans in the Sudetenland.
LOL!
Obama’s not far behind I’m sure. And the Yeti.
What time does the Azov leap frog and hide the salami marathon start?
In WW2, the ratio of Soviet soldiers killed vs Axis killed ratio was about 3.5:1. (The Germans and and other Axis troops killed 3.5 Soviets for every one of them who were killed.) If the Russians are only suffering 3:1 casualties now, this is the new, "kinder, gentler" 21st Century Russia.
If any Russians are shocked by their casualties, their schools must be as bad at teaching Russian history as schools in the US are at teaching US history.
Well then we’ll done mission accomplished. They went from tens being killed mostly “soldiers” of DPR… to thousands being killed by Russian shelling
More Russian brothers and sisters “saved”
